This Long Island boy calls Delmarva home. I have been here with Delmarva Broadcasting
and Cool 101.3 for almost 10 years! I grew up with the Eagles, the Police and Earth
Wind & Fire. I Love the music we play on Cool 101.3. When I'm not in the studio or at
Steve's Seaside Saloon, you can find me on anyone of Delmarva's golf courses seeking
to break 90. Thank you for listening to Cool 101.3. And check this blog for my rants,
entertaining videos and anything else I might think you will enjoy!

8:40AM SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 2014Olympic Hockey is ruined
It is Saturday morning and I am sitting watching USA vs Russia reminiscing about 1980. What a magical time that was. Some might call it Miraculous :). Thanks for the best sports play by play call Mr. Al Michaels you lucky dog. That's something us young broadcasters grew up dreaming about in parking lot pick up games.

So, here we are 34 years later and it just isn't the same. As much as we try to hype it up, it will NEVER be the same. Back in 1980 Team USA was a bunch of amateur farm boys playing on pure emotion and passion against seasoned, grizzled old veterans of the Soviet Union. In 2014 it is basically an NHL All Star game. It is without a doubt fun to watch, but it will never be same as that day in 1980.

Granted, the politics of the day were different as well. So much made that Miracle on Ice the perfect storm. Glad it happened in my lifetime. That Olympics is truly Legendary.

Most of those guys never really went on to much success in the NHL with the exception of Ken Morrow who went on to win Stanley Cups with the NEw York Islanders, but I'm biased.

The Olympic dream of playing hockey for team USA needs to come back. We need to change the rules to make it something for the everyman. We may lose alot, but when we win...It certainly would make winning more exciting. Right now I feel like Russia in 1980... We expect to win with our team of All Stars.
